Is Obama really a socialist? Some say so, but where's the evidence?

christian science monitor ^ | Ron Scherer,

[Psalm 144]

Also, compare Obama’s economic policy objectives with Lenin’s New Economic Policy of 1921.

Not an exact matchup, but does catch the major points.

Just what do these people think a socialist is?

[PGR88]

“...President Obama is a socialist, a wealth-redistributing wolf in Democrat’s clothing...”

---

Huh?? Modern Democrats themselves are wealth-redistributing to the core.

It would be more accurate to say Obama is a Marxist wolf in Socialist’s clothing.

[UnChained]

“We’ve got to make sure that people who have more money help the people who have less money,” Sen. Obama said. “If you had a whole pizza, and your friend had no pizza, would you give him a slice?”

Seeing stoop down to say this to a little kid did it for me. He self identified as a Marxist with that one.

[Psalm 144]

“a boot planted firmly on my neck”

A phrase popularized by the original Bolsheviks, by the way.

[sodpoodle]

Are these idiots expecting him to stand up at the podium and declare “I am a proud Marxist”??????

Will that evidence satisfy them?

Skip to comments.Google: Obama’s Residence Linked to PSL Phone Number

This is curious and bizarre. A reader, Jane, conducted some Google searches related to the Obamas’ Chicago home on Greenwood Avenue, and discovered the following, which I verified with my own searches, and documented with screenshots at approximately 2:30 PM ET on 12/17/08:

A Google search of the Obamas’ address, 5046 Greenwood Ave., Chicago, yields this:

Greenwood Ave. Search 12/17/08

The phone number listed for the address, if you can’t make it out, is 415-821-6171, a San Francisco area code. When I Google’d that phone number, this came up:

Greenwood Phone Search 12/17/08

The phone number associated with the Obama’s mansion is the number for the national Party of Socialism and Liberation. When I clicked on that link, I got this:

PSL Home Page 12/17/08

And a tab for local offices on the PSL site shows this:

PSL Local Offices Page 12/17/08

Why on Earth is the phone number for the Party for Socialism and Liberation linked to the Obamas’ private residence in Chicago?

Theories?

Thank you again, Jane.

I bet Joe the Plumber could offer up some first hand evidence.

Not only is he a Marxist.... but he is paving the way to making the world safe for Marxism. But, I repeat myself.

[Psalm 144]

Communists required everyone to work. The refusal to hold a job was a felony in the Soviet Union, and was put under the heading of ‘social parasitism’.

I wonder what percentage of Obama’s support would be accurately described as social parasites?

This is not a defense of communism by the way, just illustrating that this thing of Obama’s is actually even more corrupted, sickly and unproductive than historical communist policy.

The difference between a Bolshevik and a Fauxshevik.

RE: “No he is not a socialist, he is a Marxist. A full throated,
blood to the elbow Communist.
And beware of humorless megalomaniacs.”

**************

As one who traveled in the old Soviet Union and eastern bloc countries eons ago, I can say with great certainty that Obama is, indeed a Marxist/Communist - pure and simple. There is no mystery — some of knew what he was BEFORE the ‘08 election. Pity that only now are more people in the US beginning to pay attention —

[chris_bdba]

LOL They reallly have to ask? Open your eyes people and look at what he has done!

[KarlInOhio]

"We've got to make sure that people who have more money help the people who have less money," Sen. Obama said. "If you had a whole pizza, and your friend had no pizza, would you give him a slice?"

If you had a whole pizza which was enough to feed your family, and someone you never met used the full force and violence of the government to take it from you leaving a few crusts and the greasy box would you vote for Obama a second time?

[freethinker_for_freedom]

I think things are being stretched a bit. I think Obama is a socialist, but he’s waiting for a good time to spring his plan on the country. So far, he hasn’t done much. “Socialized medicine”? Well, a bit, but it’s not the government paying for care and running things, which is classic socialism. People still buy insurance from private companies. Bush did more of the classic “socialized medicine” with his Prescription drug bill. Takeover of GM and AIG? Would it have been better to bail them out and NOT have ownership interest? I don’t think so. The only other option was to let them fail, but there were some pretty clever people who argued against that. Tough call for me.

The true colors of Obama the socialist will be revealed, but so far he’s kept them hidden pretty well. Maybe he’s counting on a second term to get the job done then.

Is Obama really a socialist? Typical liberal media gibberish intended to waste time. Notice when a real story on Obama is available they all go elsewhere? Reverend Wright? Ayers? Jones?

[detective]

Obama is an America hating hard core Stalinist. He claims his greatest influence was Communist Frank Marshall Davis. He said in college he sought out fellow Marxists. He talked about the Constitution guaranteeing “negative rights” not “positive rights” like income redistribution. This is a communist position. He told Joe the Plumber that he wanted to spread the wealth around.
He confiscated the property of the bondholders of Chrysler and GM. Confiscation of private property is the key tenet of socialism. In Chicago he began his career with the New Party a socialist/communist party. He worked with William Ayers(a communist) on leftist foundations in Chicago. He has denounced America and Americans throughout the world.

What more does this guy need?

[OrangeHoof]

“The only difference between a liberal and a communist is... the communist knows what he’s doing.” - Rush Limbaugh.

Obama knows what he’s doing.

[patriot08]

He’s a Marxist/Muslim usurper and nobody has the guts to stop him from destroying America.

"We've got to make sure that people who have more money help the people who have less money," Sen. Obama said. "If you had a whole pizza, and your friend had no pizza, would you give him a slice?"

I'd teach him how to make pizza.
